Daily US State Capital Quiz

Today's mystery US state capital, the same one for every player until local midnight.

The pool is all 50 US states. Only two of the capitals carry their own territory's name in some form, which makes those the free points; the rest are the round. The seats of government run from Juneau in the far north to Honolulu in the far south, and because the hint after a wrong guess reports a compass direction, latitude is the axis you can triangulate on fastest.

One state capital. Name the state it sits in. Most people know a dozen and guess the rest; the distance and compass hints turn that guessing into triangulation. You get 6 guesses. Every wrong one returns the great-circle distance to the target, a compass direction pointing at it and a proximity percentage, so a cold start is recoverable, two well-spaced wrong guesses will usually bracket the answer.

Daily mode is one puzzle, drawn from a fixed schedule so that every player anywhere gets the same US state capital on the same date. It rotates at your local midnight. There is no retry and no reshuffle: six guesses, then the answer, then a share card recording how many it took. That constraint is the point, a streak you can't re-roll is worth something, and the pressure changes how you spend guess two. Progress and streaks are stored on your own device rather than an account, so clearing site data clears them. Full rules, including how the distance and compass hints are calculated, are on the how-to-play page. If you've already played today, endless mode has no limit.
